The proposal is for alterations and installation of Velux roof lights at the property in Cronkbourne Avenue, Douglas (Braddan). The loft conversion element does not require planning permission as it involves internal works within a building. The parts requiring planning permission are the roof lights, where one exceeds the limit set in the permitted development order. The property is not within a Conservation Area and is not a registered building. The decision acknowledges that the roof lights would adversely affect the visual amenities of the street scene, and the application was still granted as Permitted.
The application was granted as Permitted (approved) on delegated determination. The assessment indicates that internal works forming part of a loft conversion do not require planning permission, while the roof lights are the element that could require it. Although one roof light exceeds the permitted development limit and would adversely affect the visual amenities of the street scene, the application outcome was approval. The formal decision record lists 2 conditions.
